Cerium oxide belongs to the most important heterogeneous catalysts, but its applicability as so-called reactive sorbent for degradation of toxic chemicals was only recently discovered. For these purposes, cerium is prepared by precipitation insoluble salts (carbonates) with a subsequent thermal decomposition. Properties from carbonate precursor are strongly affected temperature during calcination. Main physicochemical properties (specific surface area, crystallinity, and chemistry) were...
Ammonia is one of the most widely produced chemicals worldwide, which consumed in fertilizer industry and also considered an interesting alternative energy storage. However, common ammonia production energy-demanding leads to high CO2 emissions. Thus, development methods based on available raw materials (air, for example) renewable sources highly demanding. In this work, we demonstrated utilization TiB2 nanostructures sandwiched between coupled plasmonic (gold nanoparticles gold grating)...
The recovery of cerium (and possibly other rare earth elements) from the spent glass-polishing slurries is rather difficult because a high resistance polishing-grade oxide toward common digestion agents. It was shown that may be extracted polishing by leaching with strong mineral acids in presence reducing agents; solution used directly for preparation ceria-based reactive sorbent. A mixture concentrated nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide effective partially dewatered slurry. After removal...
Nanocrystalline cerium oxide (CeO2) was used as an effective catalytic and adsorption material for the safe removal of selected phosphorus compounds. Several CeO2 samples were prepared by a simple coprecipitation method with subsequent annealing at temperatures between 400–600 °C, their sorption ability inorganic phosphates studied together to decompose organophosphorus compound - paraoxon methyl (PO) goal find relations activity materials. It found that complex set physical chemical...
Cerium oxide nanoparticles were prepared by calcination of basic cerous carbonate (as a precursor) obtained precipitation from an aqueous solution and subsequent tested for catalytic activity.
Phospholipase C and D-like activity high virucidal properties of nanoceria are described.
Nanoceria is a promising nanomaterial for the catalytic hydrolysis of wide variety substances. In this study, it was experimentally demonstrated first time that CeO
Abstract A limestone cave filled with montmorillonite clay was found in a hill above the karst plateau on north‐eastern edge of Adriatic Sea. The fill shows no correlation sediments surrounding caves or other known Classical Karst, where content is negligible. In caves, primary deposited originate from weathered Eocene flysch and were transported into by sinking streams. Powder X‐ray diffraction analyses indicate pure composition few coarser quartz grains heavy minerals. Based these results...
